VisionTrust Internation has received the highest rating possible from the charity watchdog Charity Navigator.
December 19, 2005 (Press Release) --
Charity Navigator, America's premier independent charity evaluator, has just announced that VisionTrust International has received a 4-Star rating, the highest rating possible. VisionTrust International, based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is a 501(C)3 Christian charity that ministers to the physical, educational, and spiritual needs of orphans and neglected children in third-world countries through feeding, clothing, educating and caring programs operated by Christian nationals. Charity Navigators is located online at www.charitynavigator.org.
Receiving Charity Navigators’ top rating, four out of a possible four stars, indicates that VisionTrust International excels, as compared to other charities in America, in successfully managing the finances of VisionTrust International in an efficient and effective manner. According to Charity Navigators, “This outstanding 4-Star rating indicates that VisionTrust International exceeds industry standards and outperforms most charities in its cause. This rise in their rating is an exceptional feat, especially given the economic challenges many charities have had to face in the last year.”
Charity Navigators consider two factors in constructing and modifying its rating scales: industry standards and actual performance. First, Charity Navigators look at what industry experts say about the way charities should function financially. Second, Charity Navigators examine the financial data charities provide us and study how charities actually function in real life. Charity Navigators align its rating scales to industry standards and then adjust them based on how charities actually function. The 4-Star rating that VisionTrust International received indicates that the charity has achieved Charity Navigators’ highest possible rating for any charity in the nation.
According to VisionTrust International’s Director of Development, Gary VanDyke, “VisionTrust International is working hard everyday to insure that the donations we receive are maximized to their fullest potential and that donors can give with complete confidence in VisionTrust International. We assure each donor that their donation, no matter what the size, will be treated with appreciation and utilized as it was intended.” VisionTrust International is recognized for its commitment that for every dollar donated through its child sponsorship program, 100% of that donation will be spent on children program services.
VisionTrust International is recognized as one of the outstanding organizations that stepped up and made a major impact in assisting the victims of the tsunami that devastated Southeast Asia in December of 2004. As a result of their humanitarian efforts, VisionTrust International has been invited by local village leaders to begin their work in 37 tsunami villages in southern India. VisionTrust International has now begun to build Learning Centers in each of those villages and is committed to feeding thousands of children still affected by the tsunami.
